Haterade: Is it in you?

I can usually spot an avid Haterade drinker a mile away. Well, my hateration detection abilities failed me recently. I’m not going to into extreme detail about the person or comment because it’s not worth it. I know I’m not the only one to deal with the psuedo-compliments and underhanded remarks from “friends”. I am still shocked by the attitude of some big girls when they realize that I’m no longer THE BIG GIRL of the inner circle. I guess everyone has a role. I’m no longer claiming mine, so apparently I’ve messed up the playbill? 🙂 I feel the need to make a special P.S.A. for these lovely folks:

Please do not hate on the weight loss efforts of women that are taking care of business. If you’re fat and unhappy, do something about it. Unfortunately, making snide remarks and being Hater of the Year doesn’t burn calories, so you’ll actually have to step inside a gym to get things moving, ok? If you can’t say something nice, then shut the fuck up (Ok, that’s not exactly how Mom said it when I was younger, but it’ll do).

I just came from a great spin class. Godiva did the usual Confessional…”Confess, it will make you feel better!” So, I worked off my Mexico sins and all is well again.

While struggling with my enormous gym bag and walking out of class, I collided with a PBD (potential baby daddy). Good Lord, this man was yummy. I’m thinking he was at least 6’5″….because I felt small next to him. Anyways, he starts chatting with me about the gym, spin class, etc. Why do the fine ones only approach when you look less than stellar? Oy…I was dripping sweat and looking like a crazed heifer. He asked if I was a regular at the Thursday class, I told him I was there when it fit in my schedule. Hell, I will be there every Thursday now…in a freakin’ prom dress with big hair and makeup. LOL Heels are practical for spinning class, right? :p

Sephora has some new products! I have a gift card…will definitely be picking up the Cocktail Party. Specially made for lushes like myself.

Ok…done for now. Hope everyone is doing well…

just in passing – i absolutely love your diary and find you to be an incredibly motvating. i too am a “big girl” who has lost 20 lbs and working to lose as much as i am able 🙂 hope you get another chance to chat of hot man!

BRUSH DEM HATERS OFF!! C, haters never amount to anything. What it is is that you have done what that thought they should have done by now, but fell a little short. Is that your fault? I don’t think so! I’m still a big girl (not for too much longer b/c I have Dr. C) and I’m ALWAYS hated on. Hey I can’t help it, it goes with the territory. I love you C…you’re my Sister! Smooches…

Just think, he sees you lookin “less than stellar” now, but if he can see you when you are cleaned up, wowza, he’ll be writing in his diary about the PBM (potential baby momma) that you are.

In regards to the hater, what’s her name and where does she live? DON’T NOBODY BE DISSIN ON MY QUEEN DIVA! I’ll smack the bitch upside the head with a bat wing and suffocate her with some saggin boobage! The hooker!

Actually, I think Thumper told Bambi, “If you can’t say nothin nice don’t say nothin at all”. I like your version better though. Hmmm…the fine one (all 6’5″) has had an influence…do I sense a new gym outfit in the purchasing?

Girl! There will always be haters. Always looking for something to hate on. When you don’t have haters is when you should worry. Work your party and give them something really to hate on. As MJB would say no hateration! Smoochies!

Ah, but maybe he’s looking for the real woman, and not the glammed up version!

IM SURE YOU PROBALLY HAVE ALOT OF YOUR FRIENDS OR WOMEN THAT YOU KNOW WHO ARE JEALOUS OF YOU AND YOUR LOSING ALL THE WEIGHT THAT YOU HAVE..DONT LET IT BOTHER YOU…

Girl you are a mess! I would be there next Thursday too!! Did you get his phone number? Dont be like Damon and Terri now! Tontoy 242.2/205/160

It’s sad but those kind of comments are a validation of your success–you know you’ve got them worried! It’s a shame people can’t just look after themselves and leave other people alone. I’ll bet you didn’t look as bad as you think when you ran into the guy. He probably saw someone who cared about her workout, rather than standing around preening. That kind of thing can be very attractive.

I AM ROLLLING thinking about PBD, LOL!!!!!!! You get em girl!!!!

In the words of Jay-Z, “get that dirt off your shoulder”! Don’t let the haterade drinkers of the world get to you. The time and energy they take to hate could be devoted to bettering themselves. As for PBD, girl you crack me up! And if they try to talk to you while your sweaty, that is a great sign. I would be there every Thurday, too! lynnderful

Do not the haters get to you…just brush them off and keep on keeping on. I have now lost 35 lbs and am in the early stages of snide comments or no comments from fatter siblings and co-workers. I cannot wait for the details of next Thursday’s class….I agree he talks to you at what you think is your worst..he is attracted to the real you and is in store for a real diva! JC 261/226/135
